Figured out now...Here are a few pics of some beryl I dug from the peg at the Hogg mine on Nov. 1 and two weeks after.. These first two are of a beryl still stuck in kaolin. It's glassy and fractured and the kaolin is decomposed so I had to use a mixture of elmers glue and water to secure the beryl and clay. Thanks Dan for showing me how to post pics.
A few crystals you can tell size by the bricks they are on. You can find blue, green, and yellow/golden. If you are lucky then you can find much facet aqua.
Here is a table full of beryl from there. Notice the big one in the back right.
and here is one with a facetable stone in the center. I used a friends method of lighting behind to show it. Sorry about the yellow haze

You're welcome Jason, happy to help.
Nice pieces in the pics too, looks like some neat stuff. But I'm kinda hung up on blue's in rocks.  Thanks for sharing the pics. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Wow! Yep that zoisite is definately blue. Nice one. Like the aqua too.
Is that zoisite a natural color or? Sure is pretty, should make a spiffy faceted stone someday? Thanks for sharing the pics. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
